Former NDC MP for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak has said that the argument made by the honorable minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu in support of their decision to approve the finance minister is a flawed argument.
Mr Haruna Iddrisu, in supporting the motion for approval of Mr Ofori Atta as finance minister said their support for the approval of the minister was not a support of his work per se.
According to Mr Iddrisu, the minister should be made to carry his own cross since he has mismanaged the economy for the past four years.
However, Ras Mubarak believes the argument of the minority leader is flawed.
In a Facebook post, Ras Mubarak wrote, “ The argument that the Finance Minister messed the economy so should be approved to face it is so flawed. Question – Would the Minority Leader hand over his car to a driver who out of sheer incompetence or negligence crashed his car? Secondly if the economy is messed up further by the one who crashed it initially as we are made to believe, it is the fed-up man or woman in the streets who suffers and not the politician who gets some things tax-free. If this was meant to assuage the base, it has backfired big time. We are not buying it”.
